Yes ApacheDS will serve up the RootDSE and you are correct.

An LDAP directory can master several disconnected trees. Hence it is
not one big tree. For example I may have the following subtrees served
by the server:
dc=example,dc=com
dc=apache,dc=org
dc=safehaus,dc=org
All these contexts represent separate separate trees of entrys which you
cannot search from the root. A DSA (Directory Server Agent) will list
these contexts in the RootDSE in a multivalued operational attribute
called 'namingContexts'.
You need to list these contexts within the RootDSE and search each
separately using a subtree scope search.
